Cincy Post columnist Clooney eats up "Peanuts"

It's always good to see St. Louis musicians making a good impression on audiences away from home, and so in that spirit, check out this recent column in the Cincinnati Post by Nick Clooney, a well-known journalist and TV personality in the "Queen City" who's also the brother of the late singer Rosemary Clooney and the father of actor George Clooney.

It seems Clooney recently caught St. Louis' own Hugh "Peanuts" Whalum in concert in Hawaii, and felt the veteran singer/pianist/saxophonist simply blew away the better-known names on stage that night. He writes about it in a piece titled ""Peanuts" was the gem of the evening," and you can read it here. When he's not on the road, "Peanuts" Whalum continues to perform at Brandt's every other Thursday.
